Discovered in Nairobi by photographer Peter Beard in 1975, the transfixing Somali model known as Iman soon rose to prominence as one of the most breathtaking faces in the fashion industry. Following her first Vogue spread in 1976, Iman’s career sky-rocketed as she became a muse to designers including Valentino Garavani, Donna Karan and Yves Saint Laurent. She has since gone on to marry David Bowie, author two books, create a cosmetics line, and rule the airwaves at HSN, where she sells her designs for fashion and home under the moniker “Global Chic.” (A term that has rarely been so accurately applied.)

To celebrate the ageless beauty’s birthday, take a look at Iman’s most stunning moments in Vogue.
